/digital-marketing-pro:c2pa-metadata — Embed Content Authenticity Provenance

Purpose

Wraps scripts/embed-c2pa.py to add a C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) manifest to any AI-generated marketing asset. The manifest carries a machine-readable provenance trail (who generated it, what generator was used, what prompt produced it, when it was reviewed) plus a visible AI-generation claim in the IPTC digital-source-type vocabulary.

This is the technical mechanism brands use to comply with:

• EU AI Act Article 50 (applicable 2 August 2026) — generative-AI marketing content must be marked in a machine-readable format using open, interoperable standards. C2PA is the emerging backbone. Penalty for non-compliance: up to €15 million or 3% global annual turnover.
• NY synthetic-performer disclosure law (effective June 2026) — $1K–$5K per violation, $10K repeat; applies to synthetic influencers and AI-generated endorsements.
• FTC May 2026 endorsement guidance — covers AI testimonials and synthetic creator content.
• Australia Online Safety Act / UK Online Safety Act — emerging deepfake disclosure requirements.

The resulting asset can be inspected by any C2PA-aware viewer (Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Truepic, contentcredentials.org/verify).
